Caesar, (Gaius) Julius
Caesar, (Gaius) Julius (100–44 bc) Roman general and statesman. A great military commander and brilliant politician, he defeated formidable rivals to become dictator of Rome. After the death of
Sulla, Caesar became military tribune. As
pontifex maximus, he directed reforms in 63 bc that resulted in the Julian
calendar. He formed the First Triumvirate in 60 bc with
Pompey and
Crassus, instituted agrarian reforms and created a
patrician-
plebeian alliance. He conquered Gaul for Rome (58–49 bc) and invaded Britain (54 bc). Refusing Senate demands to disband his army, he provoked civil war with Pompey. Caesar defeated Pompey at Pharsalus in 48 bc and pursued him to Egypt, where he made
Cleopatra queen. After further victories, he returned to Rome in 45 bc and was received with unprecedented honours, culminating in the title of dictator for life. He introduced popular reforms, but his growing power aroused resentment. He was assassinated in the Senate on March 15 by a conspiracy led by
Cassius and
Brutus. Caesar bequeathed his wealth and power to his grandnephew, Octavian (later
Augustus) who, together with Mark
Antony, avenged his murder.
